Abstract
THIS handy book has deservedly soon reached a second edition. In this way it will be seen that it has met a want. “The principles of modern geometry contained in the work are, in the present state of science, indispensable in Pure and Applied Mathematics and in Mathematical Physics; and it is important that the student should become early acquainted with them.” The author appears to have thoroughly revised the text, and he has added many notes of interest, a few figures, we believe, and several problems: the enunciations occupy more space; that is, such terms as parallelogram are given in full, instead of being symbolically represented; but in the demonstrations the symbols are retained. An index has been added at the end.
A Sequel to the First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid.
By John Casey (Dublin: Hodges, 1882.)
